One of Mom’s friends rescued Sweetie, the Pygmy goat, but now Sweetie needs a home so she’s come to live with us on our farm.
I’m going to be in a mini-documentary because my mom is a crazy goat lady! We goats knew that all along. Now because of us, she might be famous.
Our mom isn't very imaginative when she calls us animals in from the pasture. When she wants the goats and sheep to come in, she hollers, "Goat, goat! Sheep, sheep!"
Take a look inside the complex stomachs of cows, sheep, goats and other ruminant livestock.
We have two new goats at our house and, boy, are they tiny! They came to live with us because someone threw them away. Can you believe it?!
When Uzzi and I were little kids, we drank milk from bottles. It was good! Then Mom said we got too old for milk, and we started eating hay instead.
For the past three weeks, I've been blogging fun stuff about donkeys, but here's a serious topic. Lots of donkeys need good homes, and you could adopt one if you like.
Donkeys are famous! At least some of them are. Here are some noteworthy donkeys you might or might not have heard of. If you can think of others, please leave a comment. Our donkey, Ishtar, wants to know!
I've been thinking about the many things I've blogged about, and I haven't talked much about donkeys! Oh, I blogged about donkeys as livestock guardians, but not about everyday donkey stuff or the wild and wacky things Mom learned about donkeys when writing The Donkey Companion (Storey Publishing, 2008).
This blog is for Abigail, who wanted to know more about having lambs. I said I'd blog about it when our next lamb arrived, and he's here!
This blog is for Kendra, who asked for more information about llamas and alpacas and for the rest of you who might want some of your own. You can adopt your llamas and alpacas.
Last week, we talked about where llamas and alpacas came from. According to the International Lama Registry there are 163,131 llamas in the United States and the Alpaca Registry says there are 167,802 alpacas, too. Lamas are popular nowadays!
